Fireboard dispatched companies to the area of Atlantic & Church for the possible dwelling fire. The 1st call was recieved by a cell phone and had not given an address. The dispatch was made on a triangulation of towers from where the call was made. On the heads up, Fire Board called the number back and got the correct address of 7016 Guilford, reporting entrapment on the 2nd floor and basement, stating an alarm could be heard in the back ground with people coughing. 36-2 arrived reporting heavy smoke from a 2 story mor dwelling, with fire in the basement, confirming the report of entrapment. UD-11 (Johnson) arrived assuming command, confirming 36-2's report, & giving orders for 36 to take the basement and Ladder-26 to take the 2nd floor for the possible victims. Crews entered the bldg with an 1-3/4 line for search and rescue and fire extinguishment. They were met by very heavy smoke conditions and heat. As they tried to enter the basement the 1st floor in the area of the kitchen & dining room flashed over. Fire fighters then tried to evacuate the bldg but were momentarily trapped inside on the 1st floor. The front door had somehow partially closed and was jammed, blocking the F/F's means of eggress. They were also hung up on something inside the front door by their equipment. 2 of the 3 F/F's that were trapped were quickly removed, with a 3rd still unaccounted for. At this point UD-11 requested the 2nd alarm assignment. The R.I.T. was activated and entered the 1st floor. They quickly found the 3rd F/F and removed him from the bldg unharmed. 1 F/F suffered a minor injury(possible scratch to the eye). Crews then regrouped and re-entered the bldg with 3 lines. The bulk of the fire was knocked within the 1st 20 min mark, but there still remained a heavy smoke condition and fire in the walls and cielings. Crews vented both horizontally and vertically with vent holes in the roof. Minor extension was reported to the "B" exposure in the walls. Interior crews reported a secondary search on the 2nd floor was negative. However, once entry to the basement was possible after the fire had been knocked, a victim (26 yr old female), was found DOA in the basement of the dwelling. Fire fighters went above and beyond in trying to make entry to the basement where the victim was found. Unfortunately, conditions forced them to retreat for their own safety. An exemplary job was done by all on scene, from Fire fighters, Medics, P/D and Fire Board. Everyone worked together to make sure that all fire fighters were removed, accounted for and treated. A few hair standing minutes, but fortunately, with the training and proper procedures implimented, everything came out for the the better for all Fire fighters.

Note: Image 7233 shows the 1st of the 3 trapped F/F's being removed from the bldg. The smoke surrounding him is not from the house, but coming from his gear. Showing how hot things got inside, very quickly.
